+ the bastard VAT. Probably the most un-rewarding way to spend £350 on your motor, at least if you're paying for some thing to be fixed you feel like you're getting something

£220 fitted.
That's not really a going rate to be fair, just a bloke in his garage doing it on the side I suspect. Still would be tempting if I didn't live about 200 miles away, although I'm not sure i'd chance it with a cambelt no matter how good his reputation - if the worst were to happen you'd be f*cked.
